twelve o'clock pm.

"welcome home figlia!" victor called, rushing out of the doors to greet amanda. he had been waiting by the window patiently and once he saw the car pull up in to the driveway he was ecstatic.

setting down her bags, amanda opened her arms ready to receive one of her father's famous bear hugs. victor engulfed her into his arms, and smiled widely, "sono così felice che tu sia bellissima qui!"

(i'm so glad you're here beautiful!)

"anche io papà, mi siete mancati tanto te e la mamma!" amanda replied to him as they pulled away from their embrace.

(me too dad, i missed you and mom so much!)

pete stepped out of the car and grabbed the remainder of their bags from out of the trunk, then he walked over to the others.

"dad this is pete, conosci il mio ragazzo. pete this is my dad, victor, or vic." amanda announced as she wrapped her arm around pete, introducing them.

(you know, my boyfriend.)

"nice to meet you sir." pete said, holding out his hand and victor placed his hand in pete's shaking it firmly. they exchanged a long look at each other before victor finally spoke.

"ah, nice to meet you too. i'll say you're the first boyfriend of hers who's wanted to meet me." he told pete after they released their grip.

"well you know i'm one of those guys who want to meet your whole family if we're dating." pete laughed shrugging a bit.

"i see, you must be very family oriented, i can't wait to meet your father then." victor beamed, loving that pete shared that quality with him.

when amanda heard her dad's words, her heart about stopped. she couldn't believe him, for bringing up pete's father. especially when she had already briefed him on what had happened before hand.

"papà! ti ho già detto che suo padre è morto, che stai dicendo?!" amanda shouted, scolding him in italian so pete wouldn't understand what she had said, though she was sure he could imagine.

(dad! i told you already his father passed, what are you saying?!)

"oh my apologizes, i'm so sorry. forgive me son." her dad apologized to pete with a soft sigh. amanda knew that her dad was getting older so she couldn't be too harsh on him, but she had already told him about pete's father.

"you're fine, i always talk about my dad. i wish you could've met him, i'm sure you guys would've gotten along really well." pete explained softly while smiling.

pete didn't take what victor had said in a bad way, in fact he was proud to have the qualities his father possessed like being very family oriented.

"well why don't we get you two kids settled in then? dai." victor suggested, gesturing for them to follow him. pete grabbed their bags and they began making their way into amanda's childhood home.

"nothing has changed since the last time you were here principessa, i kept it all how you like." victor told amanda, smiling proudly as they entered the foyer.
